In this episode of Running to the Castle I am answering a DM question I received: I took 2 weeks off due to pain, can I jump right back into my training plan?

Listen to this episode as I review what my alternative was to this runner when I said no, don’t hop right back into the training plan.

This particular runner had run 8 miles no problem, but the next run, a 30 minute short/maintenance run was painful and then they did a few more maintenance runs as a test after 2 weeks off. This is common that the long run actually wasn’t the problem, but the next short run caused a lot of pain.

Listen in to learn what to do so you don’t cause more pain and have to rest for 6 weeks, instead of the 2 you already rested.
